Club career
Hull City In the early part of his Hull City career, Robson spent spells on loan at several non-league clubs to gain experience of first-team football. As a 16-year-old, he made 14 appearances for East Yorkshire Carnegie in the Northern Counties East Football League Division One. He was an occasional unused substitute for the first team, Hull City took up their one-year option on Robson's contract, and gave him his debut on 9 August 2022, in a 2–1 defeat to Bradford City in the EFL Cup. According to the Hull Live website's player ratings, he "looked nervous and unconvincing in the key moments, not helped by the collapse in front of him first half." On 19 August 2022, Robson joined League Two club Crawley Town on loan until January 2023. Another loanee, Ellery Balcombe, began the season as first choice, but was injured in the opening fixture and Corey Addai took over the starting spot. Robson played twice in the EFL Trophy before being given his Football League debut by interim manager Lewis Young on 15 October at home to Newport County. Crawley won 2–1, and the Sussex Express website marked him 8 out of 10, "beaten by a superb strike he had no chance of saving. Commanded his box well all afternoon, and came off his line to clear a loose ball on more than occasion. Made some great saves late on." and made no further appearances before his loan expired. He told Hull Live that the loan had not turned out how he had hoped, but experiencing "one of the biggest learning curves in dealing with things that you can't control at times" had been a tough but valuable lesson. Having signed a one-year deal with Hull City in June 2023, Robson joined another National League North club, Darlington, on 29 September on a month's loan, and went straight into the starting eleven for the following day's FA Cup tie against Scarborough Athletic. He made five appearances and kept one clean sheet, against Blyth Spartans, before returning to Hull when his loan expired. On 19 May 2024, Hull announced he would be released in the summer when his contract expired. Rochdale On 7 September 2024, Robson signed for National League club Rochdale on a short-term deal. Alfreton Town On 14 January 2025, Robson joined National League North side Alfreton Town. He departed the club by mutual consent in March 2025. ==International career==
International career
While a member of Heart of Midlothian's academy, in early 2017, Robson played for Wales at under-15 level, and by the time he played for the under-16s in September, he was on the books of Hull City. He continued through the age groups, but missed out on the under-19s because of COVID-19-related restrictions. Robson made his Wales under-21 debut in September 2022, playing the first half of the 2–0 friendly match defeat against Austria. == Career statistics ==
